Marvin Harrison vs Justin Herbert

“Round 10: Marvin Harrison Jr. (WR – ARI) I know Marvin Harrison Jr. ‘s stock is low after last season and some viral videos of drops during training camp, but the value here couldn’t be passed up.”

“The Cardinals are also looking to get Marvin Harrison Jr.”

“08) – Marvin Harrison (WR, ARI) At the start of the back end of the draft, only six teams in this mock have both of their QBs.”

“Marvin Harrison Jr. in the 7-game sample before his appendectomy, heel injury and without the early-exit concussion game, was on pace for a 1,117-yard season.”

“Overvalued: Marvin Harrison Jr., Wide Receiver (WR31, Pick 66 Overall) Marvin Harrison Jr. has had one 100-yard game since week two of his rookie season, when he had the craziest first ten minutes of a game you’ll ever see (130 yards, two touchdowns), and none of them came last season. Here’s the simple fact of the matter, too: he wasn’t good last year.”

“Marvin Harrison Jr. was the counter-pick, a name whose price has fallen far enough after a disappointing rookie season that the risk is worth taking.”

“Marvin Harrison Jr. has had a rough start to his NFL career, and being on the Cardinals isn't helping. Last season, with Jacoby Brissett as his signal-caller, he was third on the team in target share behind Trey McBride and Michael Wilson, catching 21 of the 42 passes thrown by Brissett for 302 yards and two touchdowns.”

“Marvin Harrison Jr. was disappointing compared to the cost, but didn't have a bad season by any means.”

“Harrison is not the player we had hoped for when he was drafted. However, there is plenty of room for him to be a steady WR2 with WR1 potential if he cleans up his game.”

“In his first two seasons, Harrison has yet to record more than 52 yards per game. That said, his 11.6% touchdown rate is impressive.”

“Gamers drafting in this manner will be happy to buy the dip on a player like Marvin Harrison Jr., betting that the "bust" title is being slapped on the former top prospect a bit too soon.”

“Pass on Marvin Harrison Jr. as a frontline cornerstone. Mainstream scouting got this one wrong; his top-end athleticism simply has not translated to Sunday success. With Trey McBride commanding the middle of the field, Michael Wilson demanding targets on the outside, and elite rookie Jeremiyah Love eating up touches in the backfield, Harrison's slice of the pie is shrinking by the day.”

“Justin Herbert (LAC) Over the first three years of his NFL career, Justin Herbert averaged 287.5 passing yards and 1.9 TD passes per game.”

“With a healthier OL in 2026, Herbert can flirt with elite fantasy QB status. Five games with Joe Alt in 2025: Hebert averaged nearly 24 PPG (23.9). Twelve games without Alt? 16.2 PPG.”

“The only other top-24 picks to match their ADP in overall finish were Prescott, Justin Herbert , Goff, Nix, Love, and Allen.”

“Even so, Johnston remains attached to an ascending offense with Justin Herbert and should maintain a full-time role entering 2026.”

“In superflex, those same cutoffs jump significantly, to Justin Herbert and Dak Prescott for a true QB1, since a real starter is required rather than a streaming option.”

“Justin Herbert leads the NFL in yards per scramble (9.4) over the past two seasons. 80 scrambles for 750 rushing yards.”

“And it’s not even the biggest difference in this group — that honor goes to Justin Herbert , which you already know if you took my advice in the intro and read my previous ESPN values article .”

“Justin Herbert over Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes is expected to age well, but Kansas City’s offense hasn’t looked like it did earlier in his career, ranking 22nd in yards per play over the last two seasons. Herbert’s overall trajectory is viewed as pointing up.”

“Herbert went through the wringer in 2025. Rashawn Slater missed the entire season. Joe Alt only appeared in six games. He closed out the year with a broken left hand, finishing with a career-high 54 sacks. That was the third-most sacks taken in the league behind Cam Ward (55) and Geno Smith (55).”

“Justin Herbert has an ADP of QB9 and is going in the back half of the seventh round. Herbert was the QB10 last season despite playing behind a shabby, injury-riddled offensive line that allowed him to be sacked 54 times. His offensive line should be healthier and better, and the arrival of offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel could help unlock the sort of big passing numbers that Herbert produced in his first three seasons.”

“Justin Herbert, predictably, played much better with Alt on the field last year. His EPA per dropback with Alt on the field would have been the highest among qualified quarterbacks last year if he had produced it over the entire season.”

“Justin Herbert rebounded last year from a down 2024 season, finishing as the QB10 overall in '25. He was used as a rusher frequently last season, posting a career-high 498 rushing yards.”
